Risty: Sorry if that one came up a little fast. I told you, this isn't as easy without NarratorDude nagging me.

Rogue: How's it going?

Kurama: What are you doing here?

Rogue: I heard NarratorDude was in Burmuda so I decided to come help.

Risty: Yeah! You're the bestest!

Kuwabara: What's this story again?

Risty: A Humorous Drama.

Kuwabara: Isn't that an oxymoron?

Yusuke: No, you're an oxymoron.

Risty: No, you're just a moron.

Rogue: Male intelligence is an oxymoron.

Risty: Be nice. Thank you sakurasango-san for your endless flow of nice and constructive reviews. Here is /digs through pockets/ Twelve cents, dryer lint, and a coupon for a lifetime supply of free soda.

Kurama: That was a little random.

Risty: Why's that?

Kurama: Because your swimming suit doen't have pockets.

Risty: Fine! I stole all the stuff out of Rogue's pocket, ya hppy now?

Kurama/opens mouth/

Risty: Good! Here's chapter 13, a flash back chap.

Even the smallest person can change the course of the future. - Galadriel, The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring
Chapter 13: Unsung Heroes

"We've gotten word of another group of demons who claim to have found a way into Ningenkai. Koenma-sama has supposedly been informed of the situation yet nothing seems to be getting done. Has the great Koenma-sama abandoned the humans to this horrible fate or..." Risty turned off the radio.

"Once again, this has been a threat for almost two days now and Koenma's 'amazing spirit detective' hasn't done shit about it."

"If it's that horrible Ris, why don't you do something about it?" Kurama pulled a moldy cabbage out of the fridge. "When was last time someone went on this drawer?"

"Hm?" Rogue popped her head out of a cabinet. "Oh, it smelled bad in there." Maddie broke out laughing. "You three are so, hilarious." She started laughing so hard she couldn't continue cleaning.

"Yeah," Risty giggled. "I can see that. Oh! Look! Corona Light. Let's pop open a few bottles."

"We're ten. We can't drink that." Kurama snatched the bottle from her. "Besides, it's flat."

"Exactly."

Rogue gasped. "No one would no the difference. They'd just think we poured down the drain."

"Exactly."

"Well, I'm game." Maddie had stopped laughing and grabbed and bottle from the fridge. "Come on Kurry, scared?"

"No, and would you stop calling me Kurry? It sounds like a friggen food." The red head grabbed a bottle opener from the drawer.

"That's because it is a food." Risty handed him a bottle. They popped open one for each of them. "Bottoms up."

Kurama took a small sip and spit it right back out. Risty drank it like a soda, made a disgusted face, and forced herself to swallow. "Blah." Maddie took a small sip, swallowed, and gagged. Rogue drank half the bottle at once, ran to the sink, and spit it out. "That stuff's horrible."

"Maybe that's why Ar adds a lime to hers." Risty looked painfully at the rest of the bottle and poured it down the drain.

"Or, it might be because it expired six months ago." The young man passed Risty his bottle.

"Shut up smarty pants." Rogue turned the radio back on. "I'm glad you managed to connect us to the Makai broadcast system Ris."

"I didn't know they even had a broadcast system."

"It has been over ten years since you've been there bitch."

"Would you stop calling me bitch!"

"That was a good movie." Risty sat down next to the radio. "Especially if it gives someone a chance to call you a bitch."

"Yeah," Maddie walked over to Kurama and started drawing circles in the air. "Expasially since it makes his face turn three different shades of red."

The boy in question turned even redder.

"Shush, listen."

"We have gotten a report that the demon gang had indeed found a portal to Nigenkai. They say Koenma-sama must agree to their requests or they will go through the portal. So far, nothing has been heard from Koenma-sama himself, but reports of his spirit detective have been proven false. It was simply an apparition looking for a cheap inn. It has been almost three days since the first threat of an attack from this group and still nothing has been done about it. It seems Koenma-sama is just too busy with..."

"Too busy to protect the humans. Makes sense." The young French girl leaned against the table.

"Kurama was right. We should do something about this." Risty looked expenctantly at the fox spirit. "Well?"

"I meant, well, you didn't have to drag me into it."

"I think we should go." Rogue perked up. "We could be heroes. The young saviors of Ningenkai."

"If Koenma-sama found out."

"What is it with you and being polite bitch? We just won't let him find out."

"Stop calling me bitch. But then you wouldn't be able to be a hero."

"I would be an unknown hero. Like Spiderman."

"Who?" Kurama and Maddie asked unanimously.

"I guess that's just an American thing."

"I know who Spiderman is." Risty said. "I don't know how I know but, he's a man with spider like powers, and the head of this magazine thing put him out to be a bad guy, when really he was helping everyone and saving lives."

"Exactly. No one will have to know we're heroes. We'll just take whatever they throw at us and we'll be the only ones who know."

"Oui! Bien sûr! C'est parfait! (Yes! Of course! It's perfect!)"

"What she said. Well Kuramey?"

"Let's go. As long as we don't have a celebratory drink when we get back."

"Don't worry, if we do, I'll make sure we get smoothies."

So the three children left the kitchen a mess, the radio on, and went into the Makai.

Later.

The four children crept through the bushes near the portal.

"There." Risty whispered. "How are we gonna sneak through unnoticed?"

"Didn't you bring anything Ris?" Kurama asked quietly.

"Oh!" Risty dug through her bag and pulled out four, black cloaks. "They'll cover the human scent."

"And they won't see us as well in the dark." Rogue grabbed hers and quickly put it on.

"No, they won't see our faces and we can say Koenma sent us to hear their demands. Then,"

"We take them by surprise." Kurama finished.

"Exactly. Let's go."

They put on their cloaks and walked purposfully towards the demons' camp. "Who's there?" A voice called.

Risty cleared her throat. "We were sent by Koenma-sama. What are your demands?"

"Hah." A huge demon came out of the tent. "I am the leader of this group. But you, you aren't from Koenma, are you? Four small, pathetic, little creatures like you? Ha!"

Risty pulled out her sword, quickly killed the first demon, and stood with the moonlight shining off the blade. "Now do you believe me?"

"Hah. You've got spunk, Ilike that. What a waste that you work for that little brat. But now for business. I want my own piece of land to rule, how I want, without anyone telling mewhat's right and wrong."

"That's a tall order from someone in your position." Kurama stepped up nest to Risty. "Are you sure you want to push that much so soon? We don't even know if you can even follow out your threats."

"Silence. I wasn't speaking to you was Irunt?"

"Kurama, don'tget yourself in trouble." Risty quickly whispered. "I can handle this." He nodded and stepped backwith the others."

"Hahah.So you're in charge huh? What do you say to my demands?"

"Hm. I have nothing to say butthis. I warn you, don't messwith Ningenkai, do what you will here, but stay away from that place. Agreed?"

"Hah. You aren't in a position to be making those kind of demands little one."

"Is that your final answer?"

"Hah. Yes, Iwill do as I wish, when I wish."

"Then you shall die."The other three then started attacking the demons and soon they were the only four on the field.

"That was awsome!" Rogueyelled. Risty was laughing andcleaning blood off her sword.

"Yes, it was,very fun." Maddie pulled off her hood. "Whatdid you think Kurry?"

"It was a well needed stress reliever."

"I'll say."Rsity put her sword withher other one. "You didn't even get mad when Mads called you Kurry."

"Whatdid you just call me?"

"Mads."

"Ah! I hate that name!"

"Why?"

"I just do. Alright?"

"Yeah, sorry Mads."

"Risty!"

"Hahaha. Let's go home." Risty walked away laughing with Maddie yelling at her the whole way. Rogue and Kurama looked at eachother and followed them laughing.

From then on the four kids always listened to the radio and snuck into the Makai to fight demons and save Ningenkai.
